It draws heavily on the diaries she kept from the age of twelve, which lead her to some surprising conclusions about memory and truth. Ewing struggled with what would now be diagnosed as anxiety; she had a difficult relationship with her brilliant but frustrated and angry mother; and her decision to somehow learn te reo Maori drew her into a world to which few Pakeha had access. A love affair with a young Maori man destined for greatness was complicated by society's unease about such relationships, and changed them both. Evocative, candid, brave, bright and darting, this entrancing book takes us to a long-ago New Zealand and to enduring truths about love.--Source other than Library of Congress.ActressesNew ZealandBiographyMāori (New Zealand people)New ZealandSocial life and customs20th centuryActressesMāori (New Zealand people)920.093Ewing Barbara1723911MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814455903321One minute crying time4125548UNINA
